Rather, the tardigrade's space-surviving ability is the result of a strange response they've evolved to overcome an earthly life-threatening problem: a water shortage. Land-dwelling tardigrades can be found in some of the driest places on Earth.

What can live in space?
Tardigrades can live in space (sort of)
In 2007, dehydrated tardigrades were taken up into orbit and exposed to the vacuum and radiation of space for 10 days.
What will be the last animal on earth?
Scientists Say Tardigrades Will Be the Last Animals On Earth.
Can Water bears survive in space?
If you're not familiar with water bears, or tardigrades, they are super-tiny animals that are best known for their ability to survive in some of the harshest conditions: extreme heat, extreme cold, bottom of the ocean, near volcanoes, highly radioactive environments, and even the vacuum of space.
Can tardigrades live in humans?
No, at least not to humans. ... They cannot survive the trip through the human digestive tract since our stomach acid disintegrates the flesh of the tardigrade without much trouble, so eating one wouldn't do any harm.
What animal can survive in lava?
In this cryptobiotic state, the tardigrade is known as a tun. Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal.
Who lives on the moon?
Is there life on the Moon? No. The 12 astronauts who walked on the lunar surface during the Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s are the only living beings to have set foot on Earth's satellite.
What animal will survive when everyone dies?
To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparent animals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.
What year will humans go extinct?
Humanity has a 95% probability of being extinct in 7,800,000 years, according to J. Richard Gott's formulation of the controversial Doomsday argument, which argues that we have probably already lived through half the duration of human history.
What is the next intelligent animal after humans?
Orangutan. One of the smartest animals after humans, orangutans are especially gifted in terms of intellect. Like chimpanzees, they have their own cultures, and have been observed using a variety of sophisticated tools in the wild.
What was the first animal in space?
The first animal to make an orbital spaceflight around the Earth was the dog Laika, aboard the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 on 3 November 1957.
What bear can live in space?
What is a tardigrade? Tardigrades are microscopic eight-legged animals that have been to outer space and would likely survive the apocalypse. Bonus: They look like adorable miniature bears. Around 1,300 species of tardigrades are found worldwide.
How long can you survive the vacuum of space?
Astronauts need space suits to stay alive. You could only last 15 seconds without a spacesuit — you'd die of asphyxiation or you'll freeze. If there's any air left in your lungs, they will rupture.
Do water bears have brains?
Tardigrades have a dorsal brain atop a paired ventral nervous system. (Humans have a dorsal brain and a single dorsal nervous system.) The body cavity of tardigrades is an open hemocoel that touches every cell, allowing efficient nutrition and gas exchange with no need for circulatory or respiratory systems.
What eats a water bear?
Although tardigrades can survive extreme conditions, they still have predators. Nematodes (a kind of worm), amoebas, and sometimes even other tardigrades all prey on tardigrades.
What kills a Tardigrade?
These microanimals, which live in both fresh and salt water, are famous for their ability to survive extremes that would kill other organisms. But new research finds that the creatures rapidly wilt under heat. Water temperatures of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) can kill tardigrades in only a day.
